Bath repair at your home in Hilton

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Hilton: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Hilton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Hilton

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
